For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

As expected, Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head cutely and said with sudden realization:

"I fell into the pub, hehe."

After saying that, she waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing serious. The owner of the izakaya was a very nice person and an acquaintance, so he was not worried about losing the bass at all.

"But...looking at Ichiri-chan's poster, you guys are finally going to make an appearance."

"Yes, it is."

Goto Ichiri nodded weakly.

"If you want everyone to know you and increase your fame, then the best way is to perform live outdoors!" Hiroi Kikuri clapped her hands, her face full of excitement and nostalgia.

"When I first debuted, I often performed outdoors to attract passers-by. I still remember the sweat I shed under the setting sun and the cheers of the audience. That was my lost youth..."

"So, Ichiri-chan!"

"exist!"

"Let's go get my bass first, then we can go to the open-air gig!"

"it is good!"

Under the supervision of Hiroi Kikuri, Goto Ichiri had forgotten that he originally just wanted to ask Hiroi sister's band for help and hand over the three indicators in his hand to them.

When Goto Ichiri came to his senses, they had already reached the river. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with a faint afterglow of orange and yellow. The clouds below were like overflowing ripples, like mist, changing into various new shapes.

"This... situation is so weird, um... I feel so uncomfortable."

Goto Ichiri stared blankly at the pedestrians coming and going on the roadside, who occasionally cast curious glances at the three of them. His face instantly darkened, and he covered his chest with his hands, feeling an unspeakable pain in his chest.

"Dangdangdangdang~"

Hiroi Kikuri ostentatiously held up her 'beloved' bass, a Yamaha TRB1004J, Natural, with a smooth natural wood-colored body that was rippling with tortuous waves under the reflection of the setting sun.

"Super Ultimate Shuten-doji Special Edition! How about it, very cool, right?"

"Ah... yes... very handsome." Goto Ichiri said weakly.

"Hehehe, it also showed off its skills during yesterday's performance~"

Sister Juli rubbed her soft face against the back of the guitar neck intimately like a clingy kitten, laughing foolishly.

"So... at the celebration party last night, you drank too much again?" Wang Yueshuo put his milky white Roland battle axe in place, plugged in the speakers, and complained with empty eyes:

"A woman like Sister Juli who gets drunk every day may not be able to get married in the future."

“Eh——!? How can Saku-chan say that to onee-chan? My heart hurts so much~”

Hiroi Kikuri pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, lowered her head, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and her two white legs tucked into green trouser legs on the stone platform shook a few times involuntarily.

"Why does Big Sister like to drink?"

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, drinking makes me forget everything. I've thought about limiting my drinking and drinking less, but——I can't help it at all!"

"Everything?"

"Yeah, for example, concerns about the future, pension issues, rural population decline, poverty, the gap between the rich and the poor, employment, marriage, social pressure... ah!"

Before Hiroi Kikuri could finish her venting words, she was interrupted by a sudden "hand knife of justice" from Mochizuki Saku. She covered her head with her hands in grievance and stared at the boy in front of her with tears in her eyes.

"Why did you hit me?! When did Saku-chan become so violent? And this method looks so familiar, just like that blond devil!"

Hiroi Kikuri was horrified.

"Ah... maybe you've gotten used to being with Sister Xingge, and you've secretly learned a few moves just in case? Also, when Sister Xingge hits you, doesn't she usually use her fists?"

Even a drunkard can be subdued by this trick and brought back to his original form, so wouldn't it be even easier for others?

Wang Yueshuo raised his hands and looked at them, and suddenly he became more confident.

"Hey - did you meet Xingge-san again? Where is she now? Chiyoda? Or Shibuya?"

"Where else can it be... Shimokitazawa. After the band disbanded, Xingge returned home to take care of her younger sister. Now she has opened a livehouse called 'Fanxing' in Shimokitazawa. She seems to be living a good life. Miss Yeyue also followed her and works as a tuner in that store."

"I see. So Ichiri's band is going to perform at Sister Xingge's livehouse?" Hiroi Kikuri nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is."

"Not only that, Sister Xingge's sister is also the captain and drummer of the Ichiri-chan band." Wangyue Shuo added.

“Is it… the drummer?”

Kikuri propped her chin up and murmured thoughtfully.

"I thought she would be a guitarist like her sister."

"You never know what's going on. For example, I never thought that a shy girl would become a drunkard who gets drunk all day long."

Wang Yueshuo spread his hands, shook his head and sighed.

"Hehehe, introverts all like to drink!" Hiroi Kikuri made a bold statement, looking at Goto Ichiri who was shrinking on the side and said loudly:

"Ichiri-chan looks like someone who would fall in love with drinking. Yes, my vision must be right! Just look at her face and you'll know!"

"Huh..." Mochizuki Saku was startled, and looked at Goto Ichiri who was blinking his big cute eyes and said suspiciously:

"you sure?"

"No, no, no, no, Brother Saku, I absolutely will not drink." Goto Ichiri shook his head repeatedly.

But...what would I be like if I were addicted to alcohol?

He lived in a dirty and messy room full of garbage bags and wine bottles. It was early in the morning but the curtains were tightly drawn. In the dark bedroom, he curled up in the soft bedding, drinking a lot of wine with a cup of noodles with some residual soup next to him.

He was complaining about something like "Ah, mom is finally too lazy to ask me to find a job. She must be too busy taking care of her grandson to take care of me. Xiao Erli is already a mother, and my sister is really a good-for-nothing alcoholic who lives in a small house."

Ugh! I don’t want this kind of decadent life!

Goto Ichiri held his head in horror.

Chapter 55 Come on, sister who plays guitar (Please order first!

"Why... is your fantasy so tragic?"

After listening to Ichiri's self-narration about her future after getting drunk, Hiroi Kikuri shed tears, which was rare for her. She wiped her eyes gently and said sadly:

"Long-term drunkenness can obviously make you forget your worries about the future and achieve the divine realm called the spiral of happiness. Why...why is it the culprit that causes you to fall into the abyss of mud in your future?"

Well, she seemed to be just sad about the fact that the wine was not understood.

You are indeed a fanatical believer of wine, Sister Juli.

Mochizuki Saku couldn't bear it any longer and hurried forward to cover Hiroi Kikuri's mouth.

Feeling Hiroi Kikuri's indignant struggle, the boy said, "Sister, please talk less." He didn't want Ichiri to really degenerate into the kind of drunkard who was drunk all day long.

Although this is very rock and roll...but such a future is totally unsuitable for Goto Ichiri!

"Let's get back to the point! Our goal is to sell these three tickets!"

The boy rubbed his head with a headache and pointed at the poster and ticket in Goto Ichiri's arms.

"Eh, three tickets? No big deal! My band can take care of it all, wuwuwu (Mochizuki Saku, what are you doing, don't cover my mouth!)"

Mochizuki Saku used his other hand to take out some toilet paper from his pocket, wiped the saliva from Hiroi Kikuri's palm with disgust, and sighed:

"This won't help Yili at all."

"makes sense."

Hiroi Kikuri, who had learned her lesson, nodded and said no more.

Is it just that her face has a few layers of cherry pink blush from time to time? No, that's not right. The elder sister's face is full of drunken blush. I must be seeing things.

Goto Ichiri was slightly stunned, then rubbed his eyes.

Well, it was indeed an illusion.

"Selling tickets must be hard work. I was also tortured at first."

Sister Juli jumped down from the stone platform and touched Yili's head affectionately:

"Okay! Then let Saku-chan and I help you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hiroi Kikuri took off her black and white coat, revealing the thin dark green halter dress with red spider lilies painted on it. At the same time, the woman's snow-white skin also slipped out from under the cover of the coat, revealing her snow-white shoulders and white collarbones.

Her long purple hair fell down like water waves, and her sleepy, drunken eyes were filled with a hint of excitement and a faint luster.

"Come on, get ready!"

"You and I together—"

Together? Together what? Could it be that...

But it was still daytime, and... and everyone was...

It affects the city appearance, which is not good...

"Open-air live!"

"Eh....?"

Goto Ichiri moved his eyes in panic, quickly covered his eyes with his hands, his face flushed, and he was vaguely moving towards Steam Princess.

"Can you please not take off your clothes during your performance?!"

Mochizuki Saku's face flushed red. He suddenly picked up his coat from the ground, brushed off the dust on it, and then covered Hiroi Kikuri with it. His voice was slightly vicious as he threatened:

"Hurry up, get dressed!"

It's just that because of his shyness, his voice lacks strength and he seems restrained.

Before Hiroi Kikuri could complain, she saw such an interesting scene and couldn't help but smile. She put on her coat with a smile, and poked Mochizuki Saku's cheek teasingly when she saw him turning his head away and not looking at her.

"Hey, I think I found your weakness."

The bold Hiroi Kikuri teased.

"hateful......."

Mochizuki Saku howled as if he had been knocked out.

"But... why do we have to live here outdoors?"

"Ah, this is because there seems to be a temple fair in this area today, and there are a lot of people. It's perfect for an open-air LIVE, don't you think? With so many people, it will definitely attract a lot of people to buy tickets, right?"

Sister Kikuri winked at the socially anxious girl.

"Ah... but we don't seem to have speakers or other equipment for outdoor performances." Hiroi Kikuri glanced at the bass and said belatedly.

"Ah... this is too bad. Let's talk about it another day."

Goto Ichiri was ecstatic inside, but looked a little disappointed.

Wang Yueshuo glanced at Yili, who was rubbing his hands and about to go first, and a sly smile appeared on his face:

"It's okay, I brought it."

“Wha…..what!?!?!”

Goto Ichiri was horrified.

"Ok! Thank you for your help! I was thinking of asking Shima and the others to bring me the equipment."

Hiroi Kikuri gave a thumbs up.

"Friends of Kanazawa Hakkei, Mina-san~ We are going to perform next~ It's free! Come and watch it when you have time~!!!"

She waved a poster of Yili and shouted to passers-by with a smile on her face.

"Ahahaha, I'm really looking forward to it~"

Goto Ichiri, who had run off the stage at some point, pretended to be an outsider and applauded.

"No, you have to perform with us too."

“No, no, no, no—”
